-- Yes.
This is still very much a testing and experimentation phase. In addition to being conceptual, it is designed to be functional. So, the Editor could be used to create and manipulate resource descriptions - and it will have the ability to save to a backend store - but it is not being developed with the expectation that it would become *the* way to do this work here at LC, or elsewhere (unless someone wants to take it in that direction).
Yours,
Kevin
